EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION.—In a Glasgow school classroom, pupils take a lesson by television. This is one of 300 schools and colleges (ineluding the University of Strathclyde) which uses the city’s closedcircuit Educational Television Service. The largest of its kind in Europe, the service was started by the city education authorities as a pilot scheme, but it now has a £50,000 centre, and programmes are carried by more than 100 miles of underground cables to member schools. The centre, equipped on professional broadcasting standards, can transmit two programmes simultaneously and four with slight modification. Pupils watch 27in screens.
